I only found one or two figures at each store, weirdly.
At first I thought someone had beat me to the punch,
but I didn't see a single cobra commander at seven stores!
Each store literally had one or two of the wave.

Still managed to score:
3 duke
1 storm shadow
1 cobra trooper.

Really weird if you ask me.

i might be wrong, but i dont think full waves were showing up at retail

im glad im not doing all that store hopping. 10 targets 10 walmarts and 10 marshals and 10 ross a couple of times a week.

i finally sold off all those figures that i chased so hard.
the only thing that really paid off was all the boxed stingers and defence and attack sets i bought.

I check around when I'm running errands, but I rarely "actively" hunt for anything these days.

I still keep seeing Wv1 restocks. I'd love to see grocery store chains give in to carrying these. Kroger has a real toy aisle still, be nice to swing in for some cereal and a cheap Joe at the same time.

Hmm, Dollar General wave 1 Joes shipped a full set to each store. I wonder if they are starting to ship them out like Walgreens/TJ Maxx/Marshalls does now, which is splitting cases up between stores.

remember whentj max was getting clear wraiths and kumakara's/ white coat rex. all those particular figures were marked up. the other figures were cheaper.

so i had a thought that the hasbro sales reps says
'HEY, WE HAVE THESE HARD TO FIND FIGURES THAT NEVER HIT RETAIL, I GUARANTEE THEY WILL SELL, YOU CAN EVEN MARK THEM Up'

SO I FIGURE IT COULD BE THE SAME CIRCUMSTANCE. SPLIT UP ALL THE CASES AND USE THAT SALES TEQNIQUE,well and it keeps the retailers from making a bad investment and thus cancelling all future joe orders.

doolar general could be the same case , unless they get the raw end of the deal from selling wave 1 like hotcakes to only getting shorted from any future waves due to hasbro splitting cases to make more money.

the more i think about it i believe that the sales reps may even be in cahoots doing shady moves like holding specific waves back with variants so they can cash in

i found a smattering of DG2 at the DG stores,
sorry if this is old news....

Would like to find some of those for some customs, but everywhere has like 1 or 2 of the first wave and they get the new ones until they are gone, and I don't wanna have to buy em to count on that happening lol...
